Have nothing around to hook to internet. Can I connect directly MacBook?

You can’t run a cable to your router?

I got a 250 foot cable at Lowe’s for just under 15 bucks

You don’t have to run it. Just use it when you want to program it.

But it sure is nice to have it connected

Very good thought

If you are just programming it, it can be done over WiFi. You only need to have a wired connection when updating firmware on the classic. I use both fusion on computer along with apex app on my iPhone to do programming.

Do you have a spare wireless router, or a wifi bridge?

I hardwired it and life is better with the classic. The new Apex is supposed to be wireless.

Which one do you have

Set on
fallback on

I agree. I've got the classic, and despite some indicating the new one looks better, I actually love the way the old one looks. It's compact, and easy to mount on a 2x4 overhead beam under my aquarium stand. I suggested a spare wifi router or wifi bridge, because those tools can help him get connected--even though sometimes they have issues. For instance, initially, I used an 2nd generation 802.11ac series small business and home router. I use them at home as wifi access points (WAPs). I connected it to the Apex as a wifi bridge, and got the Apex online. Later, I gave up because Fusion complained about constant wifi outages, which I discovered because the device would become unresponsive for around 1 hour once or twice a day.

But yes: if they have the new Apex, then problem solved, but I'd assume they'd have known that already!!

From what I have heard about outages, and my at&t router has enough problems staying connected to my computers I decided to just hardwire mine.

Thanks all. I have the older junior. I do have the software update and connecting it via 50’ Ethernet cable worked perfectly. I appreciate all the help and feedback!

Well done!! Cheers
